by Brigitte Burger

Von: Zadnik-Stirn, Lidija [mailto:Lidija.Zadnik@bf.uni-lj.si] Gesendet: Samstag, 11. November 2017 19:15 Betreff: Invitation to Decision Support Systems Conference Dear colleagues, dear friends! It gives me great pleasure to invite you to participate at the international and interdisciplinary conference "The 19th Open Conference of the IFIP WG 8.3 on Decision Support Systems" (IFIP DSS 2018) which will take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, June 13-15, 2018. Please, see the detailed information at http://ifip2018dss.ijs.si/ The theme of the conference "DSS Research Delivering High Impacts to Business and Society" highlights the main purpose of the DSS: providing support to people and organizations faced with difficult decision problems in a variety of contexts. This requires applying the DSS expertise to problems that arise in other disciplines, such as specific business areas, , ecology, natural sciences, management, social affairs, healthcare, media and many others. The DSS researchers should collaborate with other domains of expertise and leverage the DSS expertise to solve other people's problems. On this basis, we aim to continue the success of past IFIP WG 8.3 conferences in supporting the dissemination of quality research, but also to provide a memorable experience through our hospitality and conference facilities in Ljubljana, the European Green Capital 2016. The 2018 IFIP WG 8.3 conference is organized by Jozef Stefan Institute, the largest Slovenian research institute, supported by several other institutions and in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the 1998 IFIP WG 8.3 conference that was held in Bled, Slovenia. The IFIP WG 8.3 conference committees welcomes both academic and practitioner community contributions on a wide range of topics using a range of scholarly approaches that showcase the latest innovations and achievements in decision support and decision making. Submitted contributions that showcase methodological advances and real case studies will be especially welcomed. All contributions will be peer-reviewed and the acceptance of a contribution will be based on the originality of the work, the relevance to the conference theme and its overall quality. The 2018 Open Conference of the IFIP WG 8.3 will highlight the applications, methods, analytics, stakeholders and impacts of decision making and decision support in today's society, business and environment. Important dates Submissions: December 15, 2017 Author notification: February 15, 2018 Final submissions: March 15, 2018 Early registration deadlines: April 15, 2018 Conference: June 13-15, 2018 Many thanks for considering this invitation and hope to see you in Ljubljana Prof. Lidija Zadnik Stirn, PhD Member of IFIP DSS 2018 PC, SLO delegate in IFIP TC7 president of SDI-SOR and Deputy of IUFRO D4

Input to the 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR)

by Brigitte Burger

From: Dr. Ernest Foli <mailto:[mailto:efoli@hotmail.com]> [mailto:efoli@hotmail.com] Subject: Input to the 2019 GSDR Dear Colleagues, We are writing to request your input to the 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR). The GSDR, mandated by the United Nations' Member States in the outcome document of the 2012 Rio + 20 conference, is meant to strengthen the science-policy interface and provide a strong evidence-based instrument to support policymakers in promoting poverty eradication and sustainable development. The GSDR is being drafted by an independent group of scientists (IGS), supported by a task team of six UN-system agencies. Profiles of the 15 IGS members are found here: https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/globalsdreport/2019) As part of its outreach efforts, the IGS is soliciting inputs from a diverse group of scientific and non-scientific communities, from all over the world, in the form of publications supported by short abstracts or descriptions of case studies. Currently, we are requesting contributions in four major areas: (1) interactions among SDGs and their targets, (2) transformation pathways towards sustainable development; (3) looking beyond the SDGs (major issues identified by research which are not explicitly taken into account in the SDGs), and (4) the role of science for sustainable development. Contributions will be acknowledged in the GSDR. If you are interested in contributing to this important exercise, please follow the below link to a questionnaire. https://goo.gl/forms/bWjUsJmHPZCDkqxb2 With many thanks and kind regards, Ernest Foli, PhD. Member of the Independent Group of Scientists

On Forest Assessment, Modelling and Management - Interview with Division 4 Coordinator Jean-Luc Peyron

by Brigitte Burger

Read an interview with Division 4 Coordinator Jean-Luc Peyron of the Public Interest Group (GIP) on Forest Ecosystems (ECOFOR), France, about the work in IUFRO Division 4 and the All-Division Meeting at the IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress. The research range of Division 4 is rather broad, but it is consistent with the needs of policy makers and forest practitioners. For the Freiburg Congress, Division 4 organized more than 20 sessions. Technological developments give great opportunities to forest assessment, information systems, and the constitution and use of big data sets. Forest assessment measurements are made in order to predict the value of some variables and models are run to predict the evolution of those variables. There are uncertainties behind those results, especially when the prediction horizon is long. It is therefore important to produce models that integrate several scenarios and also take into account several management options. And that has to be communicated transparently to decision makers.
